Really... if a corps becomes a Jr corps what can DCI do? I’m with Jeff, DCI was trying to tell Sr/All Age Corps you do DCA 100% or nothing....

Anyone know how the DCI appraisal system works for new OC corps?

My major bad.... what can DCA do was what I meant 🤬

I went to the DCI schedule and tickets site and began entering DCA corps names to see which organizations have DCI shows. Was surprised to see who and how many shows scheduled. Suggest you check it out for yourself. Doesn’t look to me that DCA is preventing all-age corps from competing in DCI. However it doesn’t mean preventing them from having a DCI all-age show in Indy. 

Past few years I have been collecting scores and other corps history. All age corps have been competing at DCI shows for years usually MN and GA. And shows in CA when Renegades, Dream and River City Regiment were around.  Sad part is usually only one one or two All Age corps at a show.

Just a completely speculative hypothetical here... what if DCI doesn't approve Gold for Open Class? Where does Gold go from there?

Yeah that was my thought earlier.... how do you recruit when “we’re going DCI OC this year.... if we pass the approval process”. Any idea when approval is voted on?

No idea. 

Wherever they end up, I  wish them well. Met some good folks there over the years.

I never saw anything official in writing saying that DCA went to DCI to prevent corps from leaving DCA. What I heard from others unofficially and inferred from what was said on here was that DCI would not hold its own ALL AGE championship in competition with DCA. Which is what a lot of the non Northeast corps were pushing for.   

bingo

As I understood it there were all-age organizations that wanted to begin and end their seasons the same as DCI, and wanted DCI to hold a all-age show in Indy. 

Perhaps there were some all-age organizations who were going to tell DCA to pack salt and just do DCI shows and then Indy. Perhaps there were some that were going to do both DCI and DCA. 

DCA and DCI administrations had a meeting. DCA sets up a conference call with their member organizations and tells their member organizations that they are prohibited from dealing directly with DCI about a show in Indy. DCA also stated during the same conference call that if there is to be a all-age show in Indy it would be a DCA show, and any organization that commits to the Indy show has to commit to going to little league town too, thus preventing the break away or break off from DCA by those all-age organizations wanting to begin and end their seasons the same as DCI. 

I have not heard or read anything confirming or denying a all-age show in Indy, and doubt anyone would commit to it and then two weeks later go to little league town too.

IMO there is little to no interest for drum corps fans to attend such an event. OC prelims/finals, WC prelims and semis, SoundSport, Drumline Battle and WC finals. What’s special about an all-age show in comparison to the rest of the events? 
 

 

well in 99, Brigs and Rochester Crusaders did the DCA show in Madison the day of finals, then came back and did DCA Finals.that's the only time.

well i guess they could go crawling back to DCA. No guarantee they'll be taken in.But most corps know whats expected to pass the DCI evaluation going in

In past seasons, DCI has not listed OC applicants on the schedule until they have been approved.  Carolina Gold is already listed in a number of shows.  If I am reading my tea leaves correctly, that means Carolina Gold has already met all of the requirements for approval.

(But to answer your question - corps who are deemed not quite ready for OC often participate in the SoundSport division.)

We always did DCI SE in Atlanta at CV. My question from earlier last season was what would it take to get a score rather than just a read. I've never taken the time to really look at the differences in the sheets between DCI OC and DCA.

Hey Jimbo !  The DCA -Central corps used to be in a number of the local DCI shows - partly due to co-sponsorship or co-ownership.  Now that only the Govies is a legit field corps, it makes it tough to justify putting the other units into those shows..
